Modal instabilities in a flow through a channel at high Reynolds and Mach numbers are studied for three-dimensional perturbations. In addition to the Tollmien-Schlichting modes, there exist higher modes in a channel flow that do not have a…
We study numerically the dependence of the critical magnetic Reynolds number Rmc for the turbulent small-scale dynamo on the hydrodynamic Reynolds number Re. The turbulence is statistically homogeneous, isotropic, and mirror--symmetric. We…
We numerically demonstrate the feasibility of kinematic fast dynamos for a class of time-periodic axisymmetric flows of conducting fluid confined inside a sphere. The novelty of our work is in considering the realistic flows, which are…
The dynamo effect is a class of macroscopic phenomena responsible for generation and maintaining magnetic fields in astrophysical bodies. It hinges on hydrodynamic three-dimensional motion of conducting gases and plasmas that achieve high…
Several one and two dimensional mean field models are analyzed where the effects of current helicity fluxes and boundaries are included within the framework of the dynamical quenching model. In contrast to the case with periodic boundary…
We consider incompressible flows between two transversely vibrating solid walls and construct an asymptotic expansion of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the limit when both the amplitude of vibrations and the thickness of the…
Using computations of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence with a Taylor-Green flow, whose inherent time-independent symmetries are implemented numerically, and in the absence of either a forcing function or an imposed…
The existence of a weak galactic magnetic field has been repeatedly confirmed by observational data. The origin of this field has not as yet been explained in a fully satisfactory way and represents one of the main challenges of the…
To advance our understanding of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes in liquid metals, in this paper we propose an approach combining the classical methods in the dynamo theory based on numerical simulations of the partial differential…
We study the magneto-rotational instability of an incompressible flow which rotates with angular velocity Omega(r)=a+b/r^2 where r is the radius and $a$ and b are constants. We find that an applied magnetic field destabilises the flow, in…
Intense spin-down flows allow one to reach high Rm in relatively small laboratory setups using moderate mass of liquid metals. The spin-down flow in toroidal channels was the first flow configuration used for studying dynamo effects in…
Nonhelical hydromagnetic forced turbulence is investigated using large scale simulations on up to 256 processors and $1024^3$ meshpoints. The magnetic Prandtl number is varied between 1/8 and 30, although in most cases it is unity. When the…
Small-scale dynamos play important roles in modern astrophysics, especially on Galactic and extragalactic scales. Owing to dynamo action, purely hydrodynamic Kolmogorov turbulence hardly exists and is often replaced by hydromagnetic…
Properties of the turbulent cascade of kinetic energy are studied using direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional hydrodynamic decaying turbulence with a moderate Reynolds number and the initial Mach number $M=1$. Compressible and…
We numerically calculate the growth and saturation of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability caused by the deceleration of relativistic outflows with Lorentz factor {\Gamma} = 10, 30, and 100. The instability generates turbulence whose scale…
We report an extensive numerical study of the small-scale turbulent dynamo at large magnetic Prandtl numbers Pm. A Pm scan is given for the model case of low-Reynolds-number turbulence. We concentrate on three topics: magnetic-energy…
Turbulent Taylor-Couette flow displays traces of axisymmetric Taylor vortices even at high Reynolds numbers. With this motivation, Feldmann & Avila (2025) carry out long-time numerical simulations of axisymmetric high-Reynolds-number…
Curvature and helicity topological bounds for the magnetic energy of the streamlines magnetic structures of a kinematic dynamo flow are computed. The existence of the filament dynamos are determined by solving the magnetohydrodynamic…
We investigate the structure of magnetic field amplified by turbulent velocity fluctuations, in the framework of the kinematic Kazantsev-Kraichnan model. We consider Kolmogorov distribution of velocity fluctuations, and assume that both…
Turbulent flows driven by a vertically invariant body force were proven to become exactly two-dimensional above a critical rotation rate, using upper bound theory. This transition in dimensionality of a turbulent flow has key consequences…
